We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

One of the most under-rated songwriters/guitarists of the past 40 years...

I am very sadened to hear this. Friday night I picked up the guitar played a few tunes then thought about "Call me the breeze" played that then "Midnight Special" and a little Cocaine. Had my own tribute going on and didn't even know it. One of the best song writer pickers ever. Thank you JJ Cale for giving the world some good music.
